Abstract: Cost, handling the huge data and portability of the devices of the research systems are the major problem in bioinformatics. The lack of synchronization between bioinformatics tools and the advanced hardware creating a gap for the bioinformatics research. Big size of the hardware makes the computation limited to a certain place reduction in the size of hardware makes it a portable device. To overcome all these problems we are integrating bioinformatics tools with a cost effective hardware.

Abstract: Indigenous microbial biomass, such as the municipal wastewater treatment activated sludge, needs a prolonged acclimation period before the sludge can degrade a xenobiotic organic compound. During acclimation, some of the sludge microorganisms are converted into degraders by acquiring specific genetic coding for metabolism of the xenobiotic organic. At activated sludge system start-up and during xenobiotic shocks, activated sludge microorganisms may not have been acclimated to the newly introduced xenobiotic and thus may fail to treat the influent xenobiotic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the benefits of bioaugmentation to activated sludge during the vulnerable times of xenobiotic treatment start-up and shock-loading. Laboratory activated sludge reactors fed biogenic organics were operated and start-up and shock-loading tests were performed with the steady state activated sludge. 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetice acid (2,4-D) replaced biogenic influent in the start-up and shock-
